Open access, enabling free download and reuse of published articles, is particularly important in medicine, where subscription barriers can mean clinicians don’t have access to up-to-date information on treatment and healthcare. With ever-increasing subscription costs, those outside of large institutions rarely have subscriptions to all relevant journals.

All articles published in JMCR and Cases Journal are of course completely free for anyone to download, and readers can reproduce the case reports (eg for teaching purposes) with no need to request permission. With many of our cases coming from developing nations, open access is essential for these case reports to reach the audience that needs them.

Support open access and our case report journals by publishing with us, and give your experiences a voice.
